Can't a girl and a guy just be friends?
Honestly, all the wrong people ended up together, and it felt so forced. What annoyed me most was that Choi-Hun is clearly gay - the actor was obviously asked to play him 'gay' and there was absolutely no need for him to get together with Ga-Rin. In the first season they were written as best friends, and that worked so much better. They were cute and funny as a couple but there was no romantic chemistry between them at all. Just let him be gay!
Speaking of which, the lead pair, Tae-O and Song-Yi, had no chemistry either. Honestly, it would be so weird to get together with someone you'd been childhood friends with for that long. It felt weird watching them, like brother and sister kissing. I think when the series began the writers hadn't decided how it would end, otherwise they would have done a better job framing romantic feelings between the two - particularly in Song-Yi's case. We had no evidence that she had feelings for Tae-O at all (it is possible to love someone deeply in a platonic way!).
It felt like a lot of storylines were half-heartedly left - who was the guy in the yellow car that Se-Hyun kept going off with? What actually did Ga-Rin's mum do to make her so anxious? How did Song-Yi start rebuilding the relationship with her mum, to the point they could live together again?
So much wasted potential!
